Tom Trbojevic has managed to stay healthy through two weeks and that looks the difference when the Sea Eagles tackle old rivals Parramatta on Sunday afternoon.
Best Bet
Manly have such a dominant record with Tom Trbojevic in the team that against a middling team like Parramatta, the Sea Eagles are a bet.
The Sea Eagles cover at a rate of 60% when Tom Trbojevic is in the team over the last four seasons against a rate of 35% when he is out.
There are some other factors here too. Manly have covered their last three away from Brookvale. They have covered five of seven against the Eels. Manly are 12-7 ATS off conceding 14 or fewer.
Manly are a better team and happy to bet on talent here.
Same Game Multi
Tom Trbojevic is scoring at better than one per game across the last four seasons and is perhaps the most dangerous tryscorer in the competition.
Tolutau Koula has seven tries in his last nine games and is being used on the wing in parts of matches.
Value Bet
Haumole Olakau’atu has turned into one of the most damaging backrowers in the premiership and can score against the Eels running at Bryce Cartwright. He has 29 tries in his last 68 NRL matches, he crossed last week and he scored twice against the Eels last season.
